I've been at this level for years. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself—has your chakra volume increased over these years? Have you been practicing seriously?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin looked at the unconvinced Uchiha Izuna and said in a sarcastic, mocking tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stung by these words until his blood rushed to his head, Uchiha Izuna ignored the gap in their strength, pulled a katana from his back, and charged at Uchiha Gin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was still easily dodged by the agile Uchiha Gin, who kept saying while dodging,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you even capable, little brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the other's cheeky voice, Uchiha Izuna was so angry his eyes turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, no way, you're activating your Sharingan already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him so angry his vision went black, and he nearly passed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four years ago, the ten-year-old Uchiha Madara had easily defeated his cousin who was ten years his senior; that scene had left a deep impression on the young Uchiha Izuna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four years later, thinking he was fully prepared, Izuna chose to challenge his cousin Uchiha Gin on his own tenth birthday to keep up with his brother Uchiha Madara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what he never expected was that this cousin, who usually looked like a weakling relying on others' power, actually had such skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know that his current strength, even if not equal to an elite combatant, was at the top of ordinary combatants; measured by future standards, it was the strength of a Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discovering that his opponent's strength was not as simple as he had imagined, Uchiha Izuna steeled his heart and began to perform hand seals frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snake—Ram—Monkey—Boar—Horse—Tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classic Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the youth's cheeks puffed out, a surge of scorching chakra was released from his mouth, and a fireball several meters in diameter smashed toward Uchiha Gin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having released such an astonishingly powerful jutsu, the youth panted heavily, watching to see how the other would deal with his trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incoming fireball made his already curly hair even curlier. Glancing at the groceries he had just purchased behind him and his \"accessory\" Itama Senju, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to extend his hands, preparing to take the Fireball Jutsu head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As chakra gathered in his hands, Uchiha Gin struck the fireball with a punch; under the reinforcement of his super strength, the scorching flames of the fireball were actually blocked by his fist wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the other was facing his fireball squarely without flinching, Uchiha Izuna immediately shouted in a panic,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you stupid? Hurry up and dodge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparring was one thing, but killing each other within the clan was a taboo among taboos, not to mention that Uchiha Gin was his cousin; their relationship was not as bad as one might imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the scorching heat coming from his fists, Uchiha Gin felt the timing was about right and immediately unleashed his super strength again to strike the fireball in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a muffled sound, the fireball was blown away by the wind of his super-powered punch before his eyes. Uchiha Gin took the opportunity to fly backward, \"miserably\" rolling on the ground a few times before lying still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Uchiha Izuna flew over to the side of the \"unconscious\" Uchiha Gin. Looking at the burn marks on the other's body, the youth was filled with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he treat his own kin like this? Under the immense shock, the youth's dark eyes slowly welled up with tears, which then streamed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, don't die, I'll go find a doctor for you right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the other remained unresponsive no matter how he pushed him, Izuna prepared to get up and seek help from the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough, cough, truly worthy of being my brother, this Fireball Jutsu actually has some of the Clan Leader's flair... cough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the timing was about right, Uchiha Gin \"struggled\" to open his eyes. His weak voice made Uchiha Izuna stop in his tracks, and he hurriedly leaned down to lift his upper body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cousin, you're not dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" You'd be dead before I am, you little brat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Izuna, your current strength is no longer below mine. Seeing your growth, I am very gratified, cousin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin praised him first, then followed up by saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I lost this time, but next time it won't necessarily be the same. Izuna, wait for my challenge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"╭(╯^╰)╮, I'll accompany you anytime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Host failed, gained Heart Energy *10. You may unlock the Heartsteel Chest reward after three more battles. (Current accumulated Heart Energy: 10)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system's pleasant notification sound rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the young and ignorant leek simply walk into the pot, Uchiha Gin smiled with satisfaction. This was a top-quality leek; he must not let it wither prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Uchiha Gin got up, Uchiha Izuna wanted to take him to the clan to get checked out, but he refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such minor injuries are not worth mentioning for a brave Uchiha man. The injuries I've sustained on missions are far worse than this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Uchiha Izuna was filled with awe and began to re-evaluate this cousin who usually acted so sloppy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Izuna, why did you come to challenge me today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While helping Uchiha Izuna pick up the scattered shuriken, Uchiha Gin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today is my tenth birthday. Big brother defeated you on his tenth birthday, so I also wanted to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Izuna scratched his hedgehog hair, feeling a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today is your birthday!\" Uchiha Gin looked up and asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong? It's just a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Warring States period, there were no special celebrations for birthdays; ordinary families wouldn't even deliberately remember their birth dates. After all, in this era, just staying alive was a very difficult thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can that be? Come, come, help me move the groceries inside, I'll make you a good meal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Gin immediately called his cousin Izuna to move the groceries that hadn't been affected into the house. Picking up the ingredients, he looked at the unconscious Itama Senju on the ground and asked curiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this guy? His hair color is so strange!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it, let's go inside first, let's go inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding it too troublesome to explain, Uchiha Gin picked up Itama Senju and urged Izuna to hurry inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the kitchen and tidying up the ingredients, Uchiha Gin relied on the skills from his previous life and began a bustling cooking session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the living room, Uchiha Izuna squatted down and poked the unconscious Itama Senju. Finding no reaction from the other, he felt playful and pinched Itama Senju's nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Itama Senju's face turned redder and redder, the brat who had been unconscious for a long time woke up in a daze from the dizziness of oxygen deprivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh, who are you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waking up from being stifled, Itama Senju panted heavily, looking at the strange youth before him with guarded eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'd like to ask the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the impolite brat, Uchiha Izuna stood up and looked down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My brother said that when asking for someone else's name, you must first state your own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restrained Senju brat said with a look of indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, this is clearly what my brother said!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uchiha brat also retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My brother dares to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My brother also dares to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The childish one-upmanship was endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling back the curtain, Uchiha Gin walked out carrying two dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop arguing.
